Good morning and happy weekend
I would like to share my first restoration attempt over a state Denmark made Salvatella (curious it is a Spanish company) I choose this pipe because it has a crack in the bowl and was heavily used giving me the opportunitie to apply some of the techniques I am learning here and there.
After evaluated the pipe status I reemed and cleaned the bowl, atendt the crack in the bowl with CA, sandblasted the old dark finnish, and use the boiled linseed oil method to polish it (yet in process)
Attached some before and after pictures for your consideration,comments and sugestions
